cucumber looks real fresh though nice even color and that leaf still attached is a good sign. you growing these in ground or containers? my container ones always get bitter but the ground ones turn out perfect not sure why

That's usually caused by not getting enough water. If you water them enough the water may be flowing through the soil too quickly- adding vermiculite should help with this.

This is exactly why. Container veggies can be a bitch to keep up with watering in heat waves. It's like every 16 hours the damn things dry even with a full soak everytime.

Maybe less nutrients and minerals for the container ones since ground has these already? Or if you use fertilizer, do you use it right up until harvest?

You don't want to eat that one yet, plant it!

How did it sprout? Did the water from the cucumber go into the seed and it sprouted? Soon you will have more of these veg- actually since they have seeds, fruits.

Both hands visible!

And not plant it, don’t let it grow on you.
